Moscow presses Ankara for access to US/NATO Incirlik air base

Do they get our Nuclear Weapons too? Just curious when we are officially evicted from the base.
The American-built Incirlik base, about 65 miles from the Syrian border, is used by Nato and has about 50 US tactical nuclear warheads stored on site. A senior Russian politician said that allowing Russian jets and bombers to use it would be a “logical continuation” of President Erdogan’s efforts to rebuild Turkey’s relations with the Kremlin.
AND BEFORE THE OBAMA/CLINTON FOLKS SAY THIS IS BS--this just came across the wires..................
Turkish Prime Minister admits possibility of use of Incirlik base by Russia

We need to withdraw our military assets from Turkey, because they're becoming unreliable. Transfer the nuclear weapons and the assets to somewhere else, perhaps a country in southeastern Europe. But being in debt to Turkey through the use of their military bases doesn't put us in a strong position.

There were rumors that they had been shifted to Romania but every relevant party has denied that.
It's a shame too. Turkey was once a reliable ally and the one, true beacon of a secular government in the Muslim world but all that has been slipping away for years.

Moscow is taking advantage of Obama's weakness and this country's massive debt.
We can't afford a protracted cold or hot war at this point. Putin will do what he wants.
The Euros sure ain't gonna do shite.
